Gas leaks from natural gas pipelines can lead to catastrophic incidents, especially in the
case of sour natural gas owing to the combination of its toxicity and flammability. As a safety …

It is now more than ten years since the manuscript of the first edition was completed. This
new (second) edition gave me a good opportunity to correct some errors, to update the text …

The structural failure of round and egg-shaped sewer pipes is investigated by means of
laboratory experiments and finite element method analyses. Two different round pipes are …

A coupled hydro-mechanical erosion model is presented that is used for studying soil piping
and erosion void formation under practical, in-situ conditions. The continuum model treats …
